Does SolidWorks have anything like Process Assembly ala Pro/E?
Does SolidWorks have anything like Process Assembly ala Pro/E?
(OP)
I'm having to convert to SolidWorks due to a job change. I really like SW even though I was a diehard Pro/E User. Anyhow, we used Pro/E's Assembly Process to create MAI's (Manufacturing Assembly Instructions) and it was very cool.
From what I know of SW, I could create a series of configurations of an assembly and treat that like an assemlby process.
Was just curious if SW has any other methods other than that.
Thanks,
Jeff

You don't have to have just one assy to do an exploded view. You can have as many subassy's as you like and still do one exploded view at the final assy any way you want it ... with any variations of config's.
There is a reason why SW allows this, most companies create their dwgs this way. Each dwg indicates a part, then subassy's, up to the final ... all separate.
